ELECTRICITY: without this word life is unimaginable today it is our basic need but again I would say my favorite line that POPULATION INCREASE is affecting this also.
In India the setup we have for the supply of electricity is age old, approx more than 50 years and it is causing more wastage of electricity. Present arrangement is based on 440 W polls system for the supply i.e. these polls uses 440 W current to supply of electricity to houses etc. But now we have new technology where only 220 W electricity is used for supply purpose which means almost 50% of energy is saved. This system needs an urgent attention for a change because that may save our resource.
All this can be done with a sound strategy and off course by a private organization. One by one cities should be covered, this will cause inconvenience but it is also caused when roads are constructed or any development work takes place. Central government is releasing money for development works in States so it has to consider New Technology Electricity System also. And we people will try to contribute to the money if it is made sure that this new setup will definitely come soon. Though that whole process is very expensive and will require huge expenditure and may be this is why even after such a need government is not able to execute it. To even think about changing present system is very difficult because government always claims that they do not have money but they do have money… we all know government has money.

Let me give an example: 1n 2009 Bhopal department of Municipal Corporation and Public Welfare Department (PWD) was allotted money in crores which they could not finish! Can we believe this? THEY COULD NOT FINISH IT ! And that money has gone over and this is a fact just about Bhopal. One or two days back I came to see an article in local newspaper about the use of solar energy equipments for making electricity and other daily uses. I am very happy that finally government is realizing the significance of solar energy as now reasonable amount as subsidy is also provided on these equipments though still it is expensive to afford those solar equipments. If government would have wanted then in all these years there had been so much electricity from solar energy because India is immensely blessed with solar energy. We all know that no system can fulfill the required demand of present population but management of available resources is equally important as it assures proper utilization of it. We are already distressed of shortage of electricity and soon there would increase in prices of electricity very shortly in MP which is a bad news. I know being “people” some might feel that it is easy to pen down things and give suggestion to government but I know the magnitude of what I am saying, it is a task to even think of changing any new system in such densely populated country.
